Learning in Primary 1

Well done P1, you have worked really well this week.  It’s great to see you in school and on SeeSaw, even in our assembly this week.  Thank you for your photos, videos, recordings and hard work.

This week we have continued to learn to tell the time on analogue and digital clocks.  We were practising our number bonds to 10 and have been counting and ordering numbers to 20.

Our literacy work included a new sound ‘oo’, learning to recognise tricky/common words and using our sounds and blending to build and write words.

It was national storytelling week and we listened to lots of stories and drew or wrote a response.

After all that it was great to learn some relaxation and calm breathing exercises.

Have a great weekend!

 

This week in P4

Hi everyone,

This week in P4 we have been learning how to write a discussion text and looking at the skills involved in this. We have worked on clarifying in our reading roles and looked at questions we would ask characters. We were able to retell stories through our reading task. In Maths this week we have focused on column addition and using written methods to solve number calculations.

We have continued to look at different foods and customs from around the world in our health lessons and it was great to see so many interesting menus that were made.

We are working on our current topic of The Celts and have been researching all about their houses, clothing and jewellery this week amongst other things.

Here are some examples of our wonderful jewellery:

P2/1 Remote and Classroom Learning

Well done to all of Primary 2/1 for such hard work this week.  I enjoy seeing the one or two of you in class each week and all the rest of you on Seesaw.  Thank you for all of your photos and videos as well as your hard work – these give me so much joy to see.

Primary 1 have been working hard in learning to tell the time.  We started with ordering days of the week then months of the year before learning about the analogue clock and the o’clock hours.  We had fun making our own clocks with paper plates in class and digitally on Seesaw.  We have also been learning a new sound ‘wh’ and been doing lots of activities to consolidate our learning in this.  We enjoyed our Listening and Talking activities around different stories; Grumpy Cat and The Listening Walk.

Primary 2 have been working very hard in reading, writing and Numeracy.  We have been learning the magic e sound and been using our spelling words and activities to learn this more.  There have been some fantastic photos of spelling work where no pencils or papers were used at all!  In writing we learned about how to write a story and that there is a beginning, middle and end. This week we started our beginning and we introduced our characters and set the scene.  In numeracy we challenged ourselves and started to learn the three times tables and we used objects from home to show how we can separate them into three equal groups.

 

Keep up the great work, Primary 2/1.

Amazing Hard Work in P2A

Well done for all your hard work again this week. You are all putting so much effort into your learning and I am so impressed. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting your child at home too. This is really appreciated.

 

We have been working so hard this week in Literacy, Numeracy, Health and Wellbeing and also on our remote learning grid activities. Our new sound this week was magic e with an everyone worked hard to practise reading and writing their words. In Writing, we wrote an introduction to an imaginative story and I was proud of everyone’s efforts with this. Our remote learning grid this week focused on a “Scotland” theme for “Scottish Week.” Here are some excellent examples of learning below.

 

Alex worked hard to practise spelling magic e words with his Lego. Well done for working so hard. I am very impressed with your amazing work with the Lego bricks:)

 

Everyone has worked so hard on writing an introduction to a story this week. Well done everyone:) This is Isabella’s introduction. She used capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. You also may spot a connective in her sentences. Fantastic work Isabella:)

 

Max worked really hard to divide by 3 this week and he applied his learning really well to pencil tasks. Well done for working so hard on this Max:)

 

Jasmine worked so hard to sequence these numbers in order from smallest to largest. Well done for you hard work Jasmine:) You sequenced all the numbers in the correct order.

This is just a small selection of some of your fantastic learning this week. Keep up your hard work and have a lovely weekend:)

P4/3 Remote Learning

This week we have been doing lots of learning.

In Literacy we have been working on our spelling using ‘th’, we created questions about a text titled ‘Great women who made history’.   We watched an author’s live with Andy Stanton and used his character Mr Gum to create ideas for our own story.  We then used a different story starter to write our own imaginary story.

In Numeracy continuing our work on 2D & 3D shapes and their properties.  We then worked on trying to tile different shapes and looked at symmetry.

In Health this week we looked at safety.  We thought about different ways to keep ourselves safe in our houses, outdoors and in our community.

We also started our new topic of The Celts. We researched when and where they lived and what their houses looked like.

This week in P4

This week in P4 we have been learning a lot! In Literacy we have worked on Spelling, writing imaginary stories, working on questioning through reciprocal reading and creating ideas for a new story through Author’s Live. In Maths, we have been focusing on the properties of 2D and 3D shape, tiling and symmetry. We have focused on safety in our health tasks this week and we have begun learning about our new topic of The Celts. We have started our research on this and it is exciting what we are finding out!

Our daily live calls have been great and we even took part in a scavenger hunt for household items!

We are looking forward to what next week brings in the classroom and through remote learning! I am so proud of all of you!

Learning in P1

Hello everyone.

The boys and girls have been very busy this week.  We’ve been learning about time.  We have been ordering the months of the year, the days of the week and have been learning to tell the time ‘o’clock’ on our analogue clocks.

Our new sound this week was ‘wh’ and we’ve been learning to read cvc words.

We’ve been using our listening skills to listen to stories and have also been discussing what foods are healthy and unhealthy.

We hope you have a great weekend!

P7 and P7/6 Remote and Classroom Learning

Can we start by saying how impressed  we have been with both P7 and P7/6 during their Remote and Classroom Learning. Really engaging with every task and demonstrating great perseverance and resilience. We are very proud of your efforts. Last week we covered a wide range of outcomes and activities including

  • What features and organisation should be used to create an effective procedure.
  • How to find the Perimeter of a shape and linking these skills to using Maths in an everyday context.
  • A variety of Science experiments which ranged from designing your own catapult to trying to make cheese!
  • Scottish Tourism Task including producing a Powerpoint to attract tourists to Scotland and creating an exposition to encourage a family member to visit.
  • Staying with our Scottish theme we used Oor Wullie as a springboard for a variety of Literacy activities.
  • Utilising our ICT skills to research the effects Smoking can have on the body.

It was also really impressive to see how so many of the class linked their science tasks to the work we have been doing on procedures when completing their experiment. Also using features of an exposition when creating the persuasive text in their Social Subjects activities. It is great to see the children using their learning across all curricular areas. Keep up the hard work, you have been brilliant.

Primary 2/1 Remote and Classroom learning

Well done Primary 2/1 on a super effort on Seesaw and in the classroom.  Primary 1s, in literacy, we have been learning the sh, ch and th sounds and you’ve done a fantastic job on this.  In numeracy you’ve been learning about measure and ordering from shortest to longest and measuring using cubes.  Primary 2s, in literacy, you’ve been learning the soft ‘g’ sound and also working on your reading comprehension skill of inference.  In numeracy, you’ve been working on separating objects into equal parts which is an introduction to division.  In French we were learning about parts of the body and in class we managed to learn ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes’ in French.

Keep up the great work everyone.  We’re really proud of you.  Mrs Meikle.

P2A Remote Learning

You have been working so hard on your learning at home Primary 2A! I have been so impressed with your hard work on Seesaw and in class this week. In Literacy, we have been learning to read and write soft g words. You all worked so hard to write a fantastic description of a family member this week. I saw lots of brilliant connectives which was our Success Criteria challenge. Next week we are going to begin writing an imaginative story.

In Numeracy we have been learning to make equal groups. You all know this means you were dividing and this week, we have been learning to divide by 2. You used concrete materials at home to practise sharing equally and I was impressed with how hard you all worked on this task. We have also continued with our number talks too.

I am glad so many of you asked for more French target tasks and you all put in so much effort to your French learning this week. I have loved seeing everyone being so creative in your learning. Here are some examples of your amazing work on Seesaw.

Alex worked really hard to build a house for the Three Little Pigs. This was Mrs Beattie’s STEM challenge this week. Super effort Alex!

 

Isla used her nail varnish collection to spell soft g words. I love her creativity and she has a very impresive collection. Super spelling Isla:)

 

Harry read this book himself at home this week. I am very proud that you were practising your reading Harry and choosing to read a book for enjoyment:)

Jaysiel worked hard to sequence numbers from smallest to largest in Numeracy. This was a great challenge and you could order all the numbers in the correct order. Well done:)

 

Have a great weekend everyone:)
